Hey internet.
Hard pressed for time now a days with night classes from 1800 to 2400..which is a bitch. Everyone works all day back home, can't talk to them. Then when they get done work? I go to it. It sucks, but it's my job. Speaking of my job..the more time I spend in the military the more I realise how much not only people outside of the military take us for granted, but how much those in it do as well. Prime example. Evening colors. I notice many shipmates of mine bitching and griping..even avoiding this very pride driven moment in our every day...All it takes out of your time is 30 seconds to a minute.. at most, to honor those who have fought and died and who are fighting and dying so they can stand where they are now and bitch about that very fact. My first thought to all of you. FUCK you. I can't believe that you are where you are now, and you have the god damned audacity to refuse to honor those people. It blows my mind. Really upsets me to see just how much 'give-a-fuck' no one does. That's all for today. Rough day. Goodnight.

Planes, Trains, Submarines?
So, it's been quite a while since I've posted anything on here.. Navy does it's job of keeping you busy thats for sure. By busy I mean cleaning the same room 5 times in one day because they don't have enough staff to teach you the things you need to know to do what you joined the military to do. So..long story short, you join the Navy as some fancy high tech job..and you become a janitor/babysitter. Atleast it pays okay, and by okay I mean $600 max every 2 weeks..Okay, yeah I'm definetly just trying to convince myself at this point >.> but hopefully as time goes on the money goes up and the bullshit goes down.
Since my last blog quite a bit of nothing has gone down. Finally started working out again now that boot camp is over with. (God damn that place for destroying everything i worked for..). But, it's cool I'm working back towards what I used to have. On quite a brighter note, me and V are still together and going strong as ever :) A lot of people don't know how we make it, they just don't understand what we have because they've never had near what we have in our relationship. Yeah she worries alot about us making it in the long run, which is always painful to hear..I think a lot of girls worry about things like that though..their boyfriend's being loyal or always loving them for who they are. Which most guys dont do and give guys who do a bad name. Guilty by association..weak.
Well, right now in the life of me. I'm in an in between classes hold status called ATT Hold. Basically I clean the Sub School building while everyone else is learning, and I stand 5 hour long watches which consists of repititive nothingness that you're told has a purpose. Okay. Next weekend I'm going to have a nice little vacation weekend with V up in Ocean City. Finally, some relaxation with my girl where we can forget the problems of the world for atleast a couple of days and enjoy each other's company :) God I love that girl. She's always there for me. Even through the little things that get on my nerves and I need to vent about. She's there to listen. The way she loves me back is amazing. I don't know how I deserve this girl, but I'm so glad someone thinks I do :)
I'd love to write more right now, but its rediculously hot and sticky in my room and it's making me irritable as you can tell :P Write more tommorow. Gonna try to keep this thing going now that I started again!

Maiden Blog
Let's see, where to begin?
I'm a soon to be 20 year old American teenage-adult. I say teenage-adult because I feel like I'm at a point in my life where I'm no longer considered your high school dwelling, parental guided youth. However, I'm still confined to living in my parent's home almost against my will due to my current circumstances which we can now get in to.
I joined the United States Navy sometime in July of last year. I had a choice between the service and community college, for me the decision was unanimous. I've seen too many of my friends go in to that place with their heads full of dreams and ambitions only to come out and spend the rest of their lives working at places where their daily discourse is dominated by the phrase "Would you like fries with that?" After viewing several of these cases occur, I knew I wanted a better life for myself.
So I enlisted.
My ship date is set for March 2, 2010. Which some of you may realise is rapidly approaching. I'm excited to start my life and all that good stuff...but something happened about 2 months ago that has me wanting to do anything but leave this place. Love happened, oh the irony. The combination of my bad luck, bad timing and the general distaste whoever's running this show has for me came together to create a trifecta of the always popular "Fuck you, Brandon" irony that revolves around much of my life thus far.
I finally meet a girl who gets me, loves all the things I love. We spend every possible moment we can together because we know whats waiting for us in March. The military is going to be extremely hard on our relationship. You can bet your sweet ass that I'm going to do everything in my power to keep us together through the next 4 years though. No way do I want to lose someone I have such a bond with because I know I'll never find another like her, or feel the same about anyone else the way I do her.
I know, I know. Enough mushy stuff. But hey, you have to feel for me. I mean if you were me you cant tell me you wouldn't be posting this shit on FuckMyLife.com.
Anyway, I signed on for 4 years active and 5 inactive as a SECF (Submarine Electronics and Computer Field). Yes, I said submarines. Crack all the jokes you'd like as I'm getting paid most likely 2 to 3 times more then you are in whatever line of work you hate being in. Anyway. Boot Camp is in Great Lakes, IL. Two months of getting broken down only to be built back up again. No communication with the outside world for two months. I suppose I can manage that considering the millions of people who have done it before me. After that I have what the Navy calls "A School". Just think of this as an extended boot camp where I learn my actual job and all it entails and have slightly more freedoms then before. This lovliness is 8 months long. Thankfully I get a break somewhere around mid-schooling to come home and finally see my friends, family and hopefully my better half (who we will call V in this and all future blogs).
So that's the future (as if I could predict any actual details about my future). The present? I'm enjoying the present. I have a great family and I've had a great life to this point. I spend most of my days with V and wouldn't have it any other way. We have plans for the future that I am going to see they go through the way we want them to. Other then that there isn't much to my life right now. What's the point in getting a job when I leave in under 2 months? There isn't one. So I'm biding my time in anticipation of what the future may hold. Until then I'm going to enjoy every waking moment I have with V and my family and friend, and my blogs will continue to bore the life out of you with lack of alacrity. :)
